Middlesex vs Essex prediction

Despite Jordan Cox’s best efforts with the bat, Essex couldn’t pick up victory against Sussex Sharks last time out as rain curtailed proceedings before the five-over mark of the Sussex’s innings which would’ve constituted a match. Essex were way ahead of DLS at the time and must feel like nothing is going their way with them still without victory in the competition this season.

However, Simon Harmer’s side have a good recent record at Lord’s and against an inconsistent Middlesex side, will be confident the tide is finally going to turn. Middlesex have won just one T20 game, against Essex at Chelmsford, but with Cox back and in form, this time the Eagles and well-placed to take their revenge.
